In the last few years, the whole nature of buying and selling has been shaped and changed for better. The primary reason for which is; Quikr. I was introduced to Quikr by a friend who is a very frequent user of the site and is now in fact, very frequent user of the app.
As I mentioned some posts back, Quikr gave my family the ideal platform to sell our old stuff and buy new ones - while we were shifting to a whole new place, this wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the relative ease of using Quikr.
Today, I share the story of how I sold my old Maruti Suzuki 800 through Quikr and got a perfect price for it, which I spent on buying my new car, Hyundai Santro.
2 years back, me and my family had planned to go to the movies but little did we know that on this very day, our Maruti Suzuki 800 will give us troubles. My family waited for 45 minutes, in which I tried to rectify as to why the car wasn't starting but no luck.
Next day I took it to the dealer who told me that I'd have to spend Rs-25,000 for it's repair and only then, will the car be able to work. It was at this time that I talked with my wife and we decided that let's repair the car and sell it.
I repaired the car, it was now in perfect condition and put up an ad on Quikr.
To all the calls that I received, I very frankly told the condition of the car and people were still very much interested as I had spent Rs-25,000 in it's repair. After a few days I got the perfect buyer for it and sold it for a reasonable amount.
We waited about a year and a half to buy a new car though, we were going through market prices of the cars, determining what to do - should we buy a second hand car? And in this January, we decided that it's time we head over to Quikr, the very place where we sold our second hand car.
I looked through the ads for second hand cars on Quikr NXT and found a Hyundai Santro, a car that's manufactured no more but it's a car that my brother has and I've always loved. I contacted the seller through the app and started a chat. Through the chat I came to know that he is selling the car at a very genuine price, considering the car was 8 years old and in very good working conditions. I asked him to send me a few photos of the car via the app, which he did. The photos consolidated the fact that the car was in fact in very good condition.
I bought the car and here we're today - a Santro that works perfectly and bought in a amount that truly doesn't create a "hole" in the pocket.
Moreover, the relatively ease experience of using the Quikr NXT app made the experience all the more memorable.
Hence I say, Quikr - revolutionizing the way buying and selling is done. :)
